Honestly I think my one memory of it was that Micah Hyde got hurt early on and left the game which sucked because it was a revenge game of sorts for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Yikes! It's pretty amusing to watch, though, now that we know how the story turned out (i.e., we seem to have one of the greatest players in the history of the NFL on our hands).

947 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 All those failures in trying to avoid sacks led to Josh becoming the wizard he is today when doing the same thing. I bet this game specifically stuck with him in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags24 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 That OL....probably the worst pass blocking OLs in the league that year. Also he had no WRs. He played really well all things considered that year, especially for a rook. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I thought Josh arrived with the Vikings game the week before. Then that Packers game happened. But that might as well have been decades ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I was at that game. It was a rough one for Bills fans. Josh was so green and the offense was putrid. I used to work for a firm that was founded in, and has its HQ in Milwaukee. I spent a lot of time there and became good friends with some guys who live there. They are great guys and passionate sports fans that love their team, similar to Buffalo folks. I flew into town and we drove from Milwaukee to Green Bay for the game. The Lambeau experience was great. We literally parked in some random guy's back yard and drank beers and ate food in his garage. We used the bathroom in his house. We also set up shop in a public park about three doors down from the guys house and grilled brats, ate, drank, etc. This was all about a block and a half from Lamebau Field. That day, we agreed that when the Packers came to Buffalo, we would all meet there for the game. They have seen and heard so much about the great gameday experience in Buffalo and want to experience it. I bought my flight into Buffalo (I live in the southwest now) and my buddies are driving in from Milwaukee. We are hitting the Sabres game Saturday night and the Bills-Packers on Sunday night. We're still working on tickets (who isn't - prices are crazy high) and I think the best place to park would be Hammer's Lot for the true Buffalo experience. It's been many years since I have been there, but I remember well bringing my then-girlfriend and now wife of 15 years to a game and doing shots out of a bowling ball....Any insight (how to get there - coming from the UB North Campus area), what time to get there to get a spot, what it costs, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Also, and I realize it's a longshot, but any information on tickets would be useful. We found some on Craigslist, but they looked too good to be true, so we took a pass. There are 3 of us, which is an odd number and making it harder to find something decent on the resale sites that is with any type of reason. Looks like $380 for pretty far up in the upper deck is the current best price. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliemets Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) I attended this game. It was ugly..but there were a ton of Blue Jerseys there. Wisconson Fans were great hosts and several told me they liked Bills because of being another small market Great Lakes team with great fans. Highlight was 4Q with game out of reach but Bills driving. A huge guy in a Poslowski Jersey struggled down the Lambeau aisle with a huge Sausage Hero twisting and turning to get to his seat. Bills fumbled right as he reached his seat ensuring the Packer Shutout. Packer fan bellows "Buddy....you came a long way for a Brat and 3 Points " Everyone in the section cracked up including brat guy.

Riverboat Ritchie Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Was at that game and brought my son who was 10 at the time. We had the great plan of him in a blue cheese foam hat and me with the chicken wing to do a dip when the Bills scored. We never got that shot. Hearing Go Pack Go still gives me ptsd. Green Bay was awesome though and amazing venue and cool fans. Go Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Packers fans are very similar to Bills fans, although I think that they are nicer to opposing fans than many Bills fans are. In addition to that game, I was at one other Bills-Packers preseason game a few years before that one. Both times were great and the Wisconsin people were awesome. Hopefully, Bills fans will return the favor to my 2 Wisconsin friends who are meeting me in Buffalo for the game. They are Bills fans when the Packers are not playing. That game in Green Bay was right after rookie Josh had the big performance in Minnesota when the Bills were such a huge underdog, so I was hoping for a repeat performance. Unfortunately, it didn't happen that day, but we've had many since then and will have many more for years to come. It was worth the wait!

He really flashed towards the end of that 2018 season… even against the Patriots in week 16 I thought he made some really good throws that his receivers just plain dropped. Yep. Remember the bomb he threw that Foster lost in the sun and it went right through his hands? That would have been an 80 yard TD pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
